BACKGROUND

An integrated circuit, also known as a microcircuit, microchip or chip,is a microelectronic device or component. An integrated circuit is amicro-structure having required circuit functions, formed by using acertain process to interconnect the elements and circuits required in acircuit on one or several substrates.

The integrated circuit can be applied to devices in the field ofmilitary, communication, remote control, and the like. Taking anintegrated circuit applied to a mobile phone as an example, as shown inFIG. 1, a data distributor 2 (DEMUX, also referred to as ademultiplexer), a data driver 3, and a power line 4 and a data line 5connected to the data driver 3 are integrated on the substrate 1. Here,the data line 5 is used to transmit data signals. The data distributor 2is used to distribute the signals transmitted by the data line 5 intomultipath signals, so that it is possible to ensure fewer data linesconnected to the data driver 3. The power line 4 is used to transferpower to supply power to the data driver 3.

Generally, after the power line 4 is drawn out of the data driver 3, itis necessary to make the power line bypass the data distributor 2, so asto extend to other areas of the substrate 1 to supply power to devicesin other areas. However, this causes the parasitic capacitance acrossthe data line 5 to be large, so that the transmission of the data signalcan be blocked, which results in delay of the data signal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the purpose, the technical solution and advantages ofthe present application more clear, the technical solution of thepresent application will be described clearly and completely in thefollowing with reference to the specific embodiments and thecorresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merelya part of the embodiments of the present application rather than all ofthe embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application,all the other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the artwithout creative work will fall into the protection scope of the presentapplication.

Refer to FIG. 2, the integrated circuit of the present applicationincludes a substrate 1, a data distributor 2, a data driver 3, a firstpower line 4, a plurality of first data lines 5, and a plurality ofsecond data lines 6 respectively distributed on the substrate 1. Thesubstrate 1 have multiple layers, the first data lines 5 and the seconddata lines 6 may be located on the same layer, the first data lines 5and the first power line 4 are located on different layers, the layer onwhich the data lines 5 is located and the layer on which the first powerline 4 is located may be spaced by an insulating layer, the datadistributor 2 and the data driver 3 are respectively passing through thelayer on which the data lines 5 is located and the layer on which thefirst power line 4 is located.

Each of the first data lines 5 is connected to the data driver 3, andthe data driver 3 is configured to drive the first data line 5, transmitthe data signal to the first data line 5, and transmit the data signalthrough the first data line 5. The data distributor 2 is connected tothe first data line 5 and the second data line 6 for shunting the datasignal transmitted by the first data line 5 and transmitting the shunteddata signal to the second data line 6. The second data line 6 isdisposed across the scan line (not shown) of the integrated circuit.

As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, a power line trace gap 81 is providedin the data distributor 2. The first power line 4 passes through thepower line trace gap 81 after being drawn from the data driver 3. Thefirst power line 4 may be provided with at least two power lines, andeach of the first power lines 4 is located in a different power linetrace gaps 81, that is, one of the first power line 4 is disposed in onepower line trace gap 81. Each of the first power lines 4 can beintegrated into a second power line 7 after passing through the datadistributor 2, so that the extension direction of the second power line7 can be substantially parallel to the extension direction of the datadriver 3, so as to facilitate the arrangement of other power linesconnected to the second power line 7 (other power lines except the firstpower line 4).

The first power line 4 passes through the power line trace gap 81without bypassing the data distributor 2. This has little effect on adesign of the first power line 4, and has little effect on theresistance voltage drop of the first power line 4; the length of aintersection of the first data line 5 and the first power line 4 can bereduced. Thereby, the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5 canbe reduced, in turn, the delay of the data signal can be reduced.

In a specific embodiment, as can be seen in FIG. 4, the data distributor2 includes a plurality of functional units 21 distributed on thesubstrate 1, and two adjacent functional units 21 are connected by wires22 embedded in the substrate 1. The plurality of functional units 21 aredisposed in a row, and its orientation is substantially parallel to theextension direction of the data driver 3. Each functional unit 21 isconnected to a part of first data lines 5 and a part of second datalines 6. The function of each functional unit 21 can be specifically setaccording to requirements.

A certain gap 8 is left between two adjacent functional units 21. Thegap 8 includes a power line trace gap 81, that is, a power line tracegap 81 is disposed between two adjacent functional units 21 tofacilitate disposing the power line trace gap 81. The first power line 4can linearly extend and pass through the data distributor 2 after beingdrawn from the data driver 3 in the process of arranging the power linetrace gap 81, therefore the length of the first power line 4 can befurther decreased and the length of the intersection of the first powerline 5 and the first data line 4 can be decreased.

Under normal conditions, the number of the first power lines 4 drawnfrom the data driver 3 is generally not more than three, and the numberof the functional units 21 is more than ten. Therefore, the gap 8between the functional units 21 may include, in addition to the powerline trace gap 81, a vacant gap 82 which is not used to receive thefirst power line 4. The width of the vacant gap 82 may be smaller thanthe width of the power line trace gap 81 to reduce the length of thedata distributor 2, so that the data distributor 2 can be distributedover the substrate 1.

In one example, the power line has a diameter of approximately 100 μm(micrometers), the power line trace gap 81 may have a width of 110 μm,and the vacant gap 82 may have a width of less than 100 μm. Of course,the example is merely an illustrative description. In practice, it canbe set according to specific requirements.

Further, the width B of the first vacant gap 821 may be smaller than thewidth C of the second vacant gap 822. The first vacant gap 821 is avacant gap 82 adjacent to the power line trace gap 81, and the secondvacant gap 822 is a vacant gap 82 spaced apart from the power line tracegap 81 by at least one the first gaps. In the comparison of the routingmanner of the first data line 5 and the routing manner of the seconddata line 6 under the situation that the width of the first vacant gapand the width of the second vacant gap are equal, the second data line 6connected to the first functional unit (the functional unit 21 betweenthe power line trace gap 81 and the first vacant gap 821) has a greaterbending degree, the second data line 6 connected to the secondfunctional unit (other functional units 21 except the first functionalunit) has a smaller bending degree or even extend linearly. The width Bof the first vacant gap 821 is smaller than the width C of the secondvacant gap 822, which is particularly suitable for the scenario wherethe resolution of the pixels of the integrated circuit is low and thenumber of the functional units 21 is fewer.

Further, a sum of a width A of a single power line trace gap 81 and awidth B of a single first vacant gap 821 is approximately twice that ofa width C of a single second vacant gap 822. Refer to the above example,the width of the first vacant gap 821 may be 50 μm, and the width of thesecond vacant gap 822 may be 80 μm. Thus, the second data line 6connected to the first functional unit needs to be bent by a section,and then extends linearly, and the other second data lines 6 can belinearly extended, thus the wiring difficulty can be reduced and thewiring efficiency can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 4, after the second data line 6 is set, the second dataline 6 may include a second data line portion 61 linearly extended. Thegaps between two adjacent second data line portions 61 may be equal,thereby effectively supplying gray scale signal voltage to respectivepixel electrode of the integrated circuit.

Of course, the widths of respective vacant gap of the data distributor 2may be substantially the same (the width of the first vacant gap issubstantially the same as the width of the second vacant gap). In thiscase, as shown in FIG. 5, the second data line 6 can be bent as needed.Other structures in FIG. 5 (including the substrate 1, the data driver3, the first power line 4, the first data line 5, the second power line7, etc.) may be substantially the same as the other structures shown inFIGS. 2 to 4 which will not be described in detail here. The widths ofthe vacant gaps are the same, and are particularly suitable for thescenario where the resolution of the pixels of the integrated circuit ishigh and the number of functional units is large.

Of course, the first vacant gap 821 and the second vacant gap 822 canalso be provided in other manners, which will not be described in detailherein.

In addition, it should be noted that, as can be seen from Table 1, whenthe voltage of the first power line 4 changes, the parasitic capacitanceof the first data line 5 also changes.

TABLE 1 data Prior art the present application delav R (Ω) C (f) RC R(Ω) C (f) RC T1 4.38E+03 2.46E−11 1.08E−07 693 1.52E−12 1.05134E−09 T21.00E+03 2.00E−14 2.00E−11 1.00E+03 2.00E−14     2E−11 T3 3.99E+038.52E−12 3.40E−08 4201.68 7.91E−12 3.32512E−08

In Table 1, T1, T2 and T3 represent the voltage of the first power line4, the voltage of T1 is greater than the voltage of T3, the voltage ofT3 is greater than the voltage of T2, and the voltage of T2 issubstantially zero;

R represents the resistance of the first data line 5;

C represents the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5;

RC represents the resistance-capacitance of the first data line 5.

It can be seen from Table 1 that with the technical solution of thepresent application, the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5can be effectively reduced; as can also be seen from Table 1, due toadoption of the technical solution of the present application, thelarger the voltage of the first power line 4, the more the parasiticcapacitance of the first data line 5 can be reduced (relative to that ofthe prior art).

The present application also provides a mobile phone 100 with a housingand an integrated circuit (as shown in FIG. 6, wherein enlargement of anarea D is a schematic structural view as shown in FIG. 5) and a displaywith a housing and an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit of themobile phone 100 and the display are disposed in the housing, and theintegrated circuit is the integrated circuit mentioned above.

In the mobile phone and the display, the first power line passes throughthe power line trace gap inside the data distributor. Thus, the lengthof the intersection of the first data line and the first power line canbe decreased. Since a parasitic capacitance is provided in theintersection area of the first data line and the first power line, whenthe intersection area of the first data line and the first power linedecreases, the parasitic capacitance accumulated to the first data linecan be correspondingly reduced, therefore the hindrance of the parasiticcapacitance of the first data line to the data signal can be reduced,thereby the delay of the data signal can be reduced.
